entry 2

[project runway spoilers below!!] after having been riding my bike to and from work and all around the neighborhood, i noticed that support for barack obama in portland oregon is in great abundance. out of every 10 houses, at least 7 or 8 have obama signs in their yards. i, shockingly, decided to make a movie. so i started taking photos. i'm missing 2 key shots - the killingsworth headquarters and "hens for obama". i just haven't had time to stop by those places. i'll post the hens for obama sooon. here's a test to see if i can post video here. today begins johna's birthday weekend. we have breakfast at sharon's at 10, pick up her friend stephanie at noon ad the alberta street fair is going on and so is scrap iron. then later tonight we see michael franti. good times. then tomorrow - well, i need a break. i haven't done any self care in like 2 weeks. i think it's time to just chill. for real. to finish (and while my video is uploading), i think we should discuss some reality tv. i know it's over but i just loved, loved, loved this season of "so you think you can dance." the top 4 dancers were so good that i just didn't care who won, but my heart swelled when joshua won. [for those who watched, didn't you just love when cat deeley said "josh-ua"?] it was for sure my favorite show during the summer. "big brother 10." wow. dan has probably played one of the most brilliant big brother games - well, ever. sorry dr. will, dan takes the cake on this one. the biggest difference between dan and dr. will is that dr. will just basically told people he was lying, dan has masterfully played and evicted every person in the house. dan should have been evicted in the second or third week, but he changed the game in his favor. i was rooting for keesha and reny to make it to the end - but to no avail. they feel under the spell of trusting dan and memphis. keesha, however, had a moment of clarity as she was walking out the door and dan told her his secret about taking michelle on his luxury trip. she realized it and said it in a confessional in the jury house - dan has played the best game of anyone in the house. now it's down to memphis and dan. i hope the jury house sees how brilliantly dan played the game and they reward him with the, pathetic, half million dollar prize. what else? oh, "project runway." yes. i just really love this show. there were some not so good designers this year - blayne? really? the adding "liscious" to everything was so annoying. seeing him be aufed was good. actually seeing terry go was sort of a relief too. i'm so pleased with our portland girl, leanne. she is kicking ass and taking names. 2 challenges in a row? with immunity? that's how you do it. she was also in the top 4 this week. the oregonian posted that leanne was the 6th person to be eliminated. lies, lies! the rate she's going she could make the top 4 i think. thank god someone cool to represent portland on a reality show. most of them have gone on to nothing good and look like fools in the process. [on a side note: storm large from 'rock star' was in russell street bbq last week looking smokin' hot. really. plus, she's super cool and a big tipper. oh, and her business credit card says "storm large and the balls." the balls are her band but to see that on an amex was amusing. anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program...] i'm looking forward to "survivor: gabon" - it should be great. a 2-hour premiere and in high-def? honestly. i've even gotten the night off of work. dork. this video is taking forever to load. perhaps it's too large. i may have to cancel. we'll talk soon people.
